Abstract

Silica glasses can be used as optical material in various applications such as deep-ultraviolet lithography and nuclear fusion, because they have no internal absorption and extremely small defects. In these applications, laser-induced bulk damage is an important factor in practical use. The laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) is expected to depend on the types and production conditions of silica glasses. In this paper, the LIDT of synthetic fused silica which contains 4~1220ppm of OH, 1.7x1018~2x1019 molecules/cm3 of H2, and 100~3700 ppm of fluorine were studied by irradiating the higher harmonics of Nd:YAG laser at 355 and 266 nm with pulse width of 4 ns. Current experimental results show that the improvement of the LIDT with impurity contained silica glass is possible.
